An interactive map by Reuters showing China's political power connections

Reuters has produced an interactive map purportedly showing China's intricate elite power web, connecting various policial leaders based on their background, career paths, political bondage and affiliatons. A YouTube intro on how to use this map is here.

As pointed out by John Kennedy in the South China Morning Post "Blogs" dated 8 March, 2013, the map is too detailed, too complex and too mechnical to be able to explain human relationships and political bondage where some power-brokers may be behind the scenes.

The map may provide some basic facts but its conclusions may be based on half-truths, which may well prove to be quite off the mark.

Optimizing your website with relevant keywords, directory submission, social bookmarking and press release distribution among other things might just be the catalyst for your online business to take off with a big bang. This one is not so important, just reinforces to the search engines about what your page content is based on. It all depends on the goals of the website owner and the manner in which these could be achieved.

Yesterday, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a thirty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
